§ 12-12 Modification by Commissioner.
RCNY § 12-12
When the Department determines that the strict application of any provision of this Chapter presents practical difficulties, the Commissioner or their designee may, in a specific instance, modify the application of such provision consistent with the general purpose of this Chapter and upon such condition(s) as are necessary to protect life and health. Failure to comply with the terms of a modification may render such modification null and void and result in enforcement by the Department. The denial of a request for modification by the Commissioner shall be deemed a final agency determination. (Added City Record 7/23/2025, eff. 1/1/2026)
